What do you expect - the EU to centrally plan a phone OS? They are capitalist with regulations, you know, not communist. Someone has to actually make one themselves.

Most of the free hardware and software alternatives are already European, like MNT, and GrapheneOS. They just don't have market share.

What do I expect? Mandating open bootloaders by law, banning device attestation and applying existing antitrust legislation.

Then if they could give a few millions to some open source communities, that could be the cherry on top

		Now that would be pretty good. I thought there was already an unlockable bootloader mandate but it seems I was mistaken. Most phone makers openly violate GPL and don't get punished, too.
